This album will be regarded as a classic in 10-15 years

Maybe. It definitely seems like it sparked a whole new wave in hip hop of depressed soundcloud rappers flowing over lo-fi beats. Grief is one of the best songs of this decade though.
But I think Solace will be the one that's regarded as a classic.

this shit is so fucking great. >>71357233
and now that you mention it, this was the start of all these sc rappers like lil peep n shit.
I hope it doesn't get overshadowed by the shit it spawned.
everyone from OF fell off the face of the earth except for frank ocean

Earl and Syd have stayed afloat
Not a big fan of the record, I do think solace is a bit better. But I'd have to agree with the points you guys have made when it comes to the influence of the album
Kek
no
>>71357233
yes, Solace is the real deal.
not a classic but it definitely will be remembered fondly
>>71357233
It feels like a lot of those soundcloud rappers are rappping over a modernized version of old dark memphis rap and not really similar to earl's style. Guys like Raider Klan, SESH really kicked that off, not earl.

DId it though? Maybe my memory is playing tricks on me because I never got into the whole gloomy soundcloud type shit but I feel like that was sorta a thing before IDLS dropped

Domo and Hodgy's latest albums are pretty good too
>>71357724
Yeah Bones been doing the gloomy sadshit since like 2012
>>71357815
Domo and Hodgy's albums were garbage guy it was just the same old shit
>>71357233
Solace is the best Song/EP to come out this decade imo
>>71357823
I enjoyed them both
Love this album to death, its helped shape a lot of my taste in hip hop since it came out.
Would be nice to have a version of Solace that isn't a shitty youtube rip desu
wish it was longer, the beats, gloomy and agitated vocals. wow. doubt itll ever reach classic status though

Thats pretty much how rap goes
New rapper finds success > He tries to make his 5 friends successful > time passes > everyone except 1-2 people are forgotten > repeat
That's what happened with outlawz, d12, young money, g-unit, etc
